when the kids bug me to play the Wii i have to ask myself if they'll play that game on the wife's laptop or the TV...

on the wife's lappy it's in high def - not that they care

wii versions of games for other consoles are pretty much not worth playing

the biggest I seen them is my brother's plasma.. it's smooth

I'd like to see him run an emu on his media center pc though... lcd would pwn that

I run a LCD emulator on my Plasma TV

What a silly question does this article suggest? - sorry to the writer but have they even checked out the hardware specs of the Wii? The hardware is not capable of HD gaming or video playback.

Wii will never be HD, maybe the next one might when current Wii starts to get pwned by the Sony Motion and they realise they shouldnt have just made a glorified GameCube with new controllers.

For the writer - see hardware specs:

is it, though?

Yes it is a joke based on some truth
It is possible to like games and use a console
but its not possible to be a PS3 player and have friends

wii looks crap even on component. im sorry, i like details.
